[Bug 326135] Re: policykit introduction broke unix user groups
Since these unix groups seems to be abandoned, the right solution I think is to remove that settings page. Perhaps. That would take the bug away, but it wouldn't implement the missing feature. (Being able to create Desktop users who cannot tell the computer to make wireless or modem connections). Users that have advanced needs (don't run desktop for example), can still happily use these settings. I'd be happy to do this manually but I don't know how (not that this is the place for you to tell me...) -- policykit introduction broke unix user groups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 326135] Re: policykit introduction broke unix user groups
This is very unpleasant feature that shouldn't be present in ubuntu. It isn't security hole only. For example adding user to 'audio' group breaks fast user switch, because the users audio continues to play even when other user is active. Since these unix groups seems to be abandoned, the right solution I think is to remove that settings page. Users that have advanced needs (don't run desktop for example), can still happily use these settings Maybe even better just allow user to edit the groups the user is in, but without misleading descriptions that are in place. -- policykit introduction broke unix user groups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
